1 Connected Corridors I-210 Pilot Project California Highway Patrol April 22, 2014

2 Agenda 2 Introductions Project Overview Project Schedule Project Outreach CHP Involvement Next Steps

3 Caltrans and CHP 3 Caltrans mission is to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated, and efficient transportation system to enhance California s economy and livability The CHP s mission is to provide the highest level of safety, service, and security on state freeways and highways to the people of California Caltrans and the CHP work closely together (LARTMC), incident management, traffic control, etc. CHP will be an important partner for the I-210 project

4 Recent Incidents on the I LA Times, April 2 nd : Big-rig crashes in rain close freeway in Pasadena two days in a row LA Times, April 1 st : Jackknifed big rig blocks access to 210 Freeway in Pasadena LA Times, December 17, 2013: Fiery crash involving 2 big rigs closes westbound 210 Freeway

5 November 21, 2013 Incident on the I E/210 to E/210 Tunnel Accident Nov. 21, 2013 First Rain of the Season

6 November 21, 2013 Incident on the I Madre Nov. 21, 2013 First Rain of the Season

7 Incidents on I-210 (2009 to 2012) Major Incidents on I-210 Corridor 2009 thru Fair Oaks Los Robles Lake Hill Allen Altadena San Gabriel Sierra Madre Baldwin 31.5 Santa Anita 9.5 Myrtl Mountain Buena Vista Irwindale Azusa Citrus Grand Lone Hill Amelia San Dimas Ave San Dimas Canyon Total of 5,942 incidents just on I-210 freeway in 2013 (495 per month). Total of 1,684 collisions just on I-210 freeway in 2010 (140 per month).

8 Current Operations 8 Unused Capacity - Transportation corridors often contain unused capacity in the non-peak direction on freeways and arterials; single-occupant vehicles and transit services could be leveraged to help reduce congestion Traveler Information - Traffic information today is often fragmented, outdated, or not completely useful Networks are independently operated - Efforts to date to "reduce congestion have focused on optimization of individual networks

9 Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) 9 With ICM, partner agencies manage the transportation corridor as a system, rather than managing individual assets, in order to improve travel time reliability and predictability, help manage congestion, and empower travelers through better information and more choices through all facilities and modes.

10 Existing ICM Efforts (United States) 10 Corridor I-15 Diego US-75 Dallas I-80 Bay Area I-95 / I-395 Virginia Corridor Type Lead Agencies Activities Suburban SANDAG ConOps and System Requirements developed in 2008 Simulation evaluation in System launched October 2013 Currently in evaluation phase Suburban & urban Suburban & urban Rural, Suburban & Urban DART ConOps and System Requirements developed in 2008 Simulation evaluation in System launched in April 2013 Currently in evaluation phase MTC / Caltrans ConOps developed in 2010 Groundbreaking in October 2012 Expected to be completed Summer 2015 Virginia DOT ConOps development initiated in 2012 Currently developing deployment plan & partnerships

11 Caltrans Paradigm Shift 11 The I-210 Connected Corridors Pilot is the first Caltrans-led ICM effort in California and the first corridor site in the ICM California plan. Caltrans will, with equal buy in and cooperation of stakeholders, lead the planning, implementation and ongoing operational support for 50 corridor segments in California over the next ten years. The Connected Corridors Program will mark the beginning of a paradigm shift away from building our way out of congestion, to managing and coordinating our way to improved transportation network performance.

17 I-210 Pilot Project Definition 17 Development and deployment of an ICM system to promote coordinated operations along the I-210 Initial System Freeway Operations Arterial Operations Transit Operations Parking Management Travel Demand Management Initial primary focus on managing incidents/events, with gradual expansion to transit, parking and demand management Initial System Incident/Event Management Transit Management Incident/Event Management Transit/parking Management Incident/Event Management Transit/parking Management Commute Traffic Management Time

18 Define Incidents and Strategies Approach 18 Define incidents/events categories Location(s) Event Type Lanes Blocked Impact Arterial Arterial I/S Freeway ramp Freeway mainline HOV Lane Stall/Collision Scheduled Closure Police Activity Emergency Event Hazmat Spill Other 1 Lane 2 Lanes 3 Lanes... or % Capacity Minor Major Long Develop response strategies to defined incident categories Develop multiple response options (play book of 3-5 options, from low impact to high impact) for each category or type of incident Develop process for best option selection (modeling, analysis, testing, etc.) Download selected response option to all integrated ATMS/TCS

21 I-210 Pilot Project Goals 21 Bring together corridor stakeholders to create an environment for mutual cooperation, including sharing knowledge, developing working pilots, and researching and resolving key issues Formulate a roadmap for the cost-effective implementation of future innovations Develop and deploy an integrated, advanced decision support system for use by the stakeholders as they actively manage the corridor Develop a set of performance measures to quantify the successes of the Connected Corridors pilot project Demonstrate project effectiveness that can lead to additional phases and funding for more advanced tools and capabilities Develop a pilot system that can be replicated on other corridors and be a model for other corridors in the state and country

22 Next Steps/Summary 22 How can Connected Corridors and the CHP work together? Incorporate incident response (CHP, FSP, TMT) into planning for the pilot on I-210 Keep the public informed Other Additional Presentations to the CHP and other first responders CHP participation CHP resource needs
